IL Everybody Spoke the Truth.

Many have stated with an apparent de-
gree Of honesty that II every one had
stopped their harmless lies and always
spoke cNacsly as they thought that there
would be an end TO all social intercourse,
and that polite society would be recgated
10 chaos IL is considered absolutely
necessary to pretend an intense interest in
the health or pastimes Of each last new ac-
quaintance, and to flatter without the
least attempt at harmonizing our iiattery
with the facts Of the case. IL is possible
that il might sound little strange at first
il the fair, stout and somewhat aged lady
were told that If she really wished to ap-
pear youthful and attractive she would
stop lacing until she could scarcely
breathe and eating until she lost the
power Of thought. There would he u GER
tain chillineSs in her manner toward the
first bold eXperimenter that essayed such
candor, but as she continued 10 hear the
same thing from every one she met, she
would conclude AT last that she herself
was To blame and by careful study of the
laws Of health and earnest improvement
Of her intellect, she would soon deserve
slncerest praise and laugh at her former
absurd appearance and condition
The shocks to the self esteem Of con-
ceited men would likewise he severe il
they met Only with those who stead
fastly refused 10 treat them upon their
own estimate and insisted upon a critical
analysis Of their claims to superiority.
That humble instrument, the chestnut
gong. was feeble protest of suffering
world against the tedious and pompous
fools who do so much to destroy all the
pleasures of human intercourse. The art
Of telling the truth would 20 a great deal
further. however, than merely showing up
few old frauds; il would be an open
sesame tO all the secrets Of business, poll
tics and religion. When one gets in the
way Of always speaking Of things exactly
ms they are. there comes to such an eX-
pansion If mind which is, after all, the
only real experience Of life.-Rhode

The Sublime Porte. I"

The building e d. porte. called sub.

The phrase 'snbl!mc port" is applied
to both the building and the administra-
tion. two things tlE are important. hut
neither t!in uHr nor lice other is sublime.
This word las, however. a very ancient
origin. When tie Turks, long before
the conquest. were ualy hnr,lrs of Tar
tars and HOma,ia, their chiefs or Mltans
were in the habit IT dispensing Justice at
the door IT their tent. Their, the cadis
assembled and heard the complaint and
then The defense. The sultan appeared
upon the spot only at the concluson of
the trial to get the opinions Of the judges
and a. render bis decision. To go to the
porte was for the Turks the equivalent II
seeking Justice ut the hands Of the sultan
and Ii, counsclOrs.
a, 'p the pWmpous epithet sublime
coupled with this poor porte. il is one Of
tho" Oriental pccchcs that the flattery
OF the wc,,h has bestowed voluntarily
upon the tyranny Of the strong. The
Turkish language abounds in these quail.

A Tribute to the Late Gen. Hubbard.

A Tribute to the Late ten. Hubbard.
 Following is from the National Tribune of Washington, Dec. 30: On the evening of December 21 there passed away at his resi- dence in Washington, D. O., after brief illness, General James Hubbard, as brave an officer as ever drew sword in defense of country. General Hubbard was a native of Salisbury, Conn. Prior to the war he resided in Illinois, and first took the field as lieuten- ant in the Twentieth Illinois. Later he raised g company in his native town for service in the Nineteenth Connecticut, known as ths Litchfeld county regiment, and was appointed captain of Company B August 15, 1862; was promoted to major November 5, 1869; made lieutenant colonel May 13, 1864, and colonel January 7, 1865. For gallant and meritorious service before Petersburg and at the battle of Sailors Creek, Va., April 6, 1865, he was brevetted brigadier general. The regiment to which General Hubbard was attached performed provost duty in Alexander, Va.. during the winter of 1862 -63; subsequently, it garrisoned the forts in that vicinity, and was changed to the Second Conn.,, H. A., on November 13, 1863. It took the field as infantry, and at that time formed the major portion of the Second brigade Upton's) of the First diyi- sion, Sixth corps. At Cold HaIOoI General Hubbard Chen lieutenant ooloneD led the front battalion over the enemy's works in charge so gallant that IA of the regiment were killed and 179 wounded. With one ex- ception, when on leave of absence, General Hubbard participated in all the battles in which the regiment was engaged, among which may be mentioned Petersburg, Win chester Sept. 19, 1864, Fishers Hill, Cedar Creek and Sailors Greek. The funeral of General Hubbard was held in Washington under the auspices of the G. A. R. on the 23d inst, and the remains were placed in vault in the Congressional cemetery. Burial will be in Winsted next Monday.

Prices advanced from the opening up to noon on an active buying over 150 shares chang provement and Memphis and Charleston were the former advanced 3N per cent. by noon and the lat ter 51x The active stocks, however, a rule made only frac lional advances. The exceptions were Louisville and Nashville, Western Union and Nor folk and Western. The advances in the three stocks named ranged from 114 to 1I< per cent The advance of the morning mainly attributed to the covering of shorts. The New York Central and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western di- rectors declared dividends today, the former of per cent and the latter 13 per cent. The bank statement made public at noon was unusually fa- vorable and helped to strengthen the market The more ac i've stocks were Western Union, Richmond and Terminal Reading, Jersey Central, Louisville and Nashville and New England. The market was not active after 12 o'clock but the tone of the market continued strong and the mornings advance was fully maintained until just before the close, when some selling to realize caused a fractional reaction in most of the list.

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 31.-The usual watch night services in the Methodist church were we'll attended.
 The sacramental service held on the first Sunday of every second month will not be conducted tomorrow, as Rev. MT. Eggleston will be absent Rev. Mir. Bassett, of Shelton, will oficiate at the regular service in the morning and in the evening there will be a prayer meeting in place of preaching.
 A few years since, not past four, the Knickerbocker custom of calling on the natal day of the year was introduced here and the novelty was quite taking. The next year an effort was made to sustain this social feature and with degree of success. But the fol- lowing New Years day was graced with fewer dress suits and open houses and the conviction forced itself on the brave ones who were fo tering this pleasant innovation into Derbys social experience that folks were tired of doing this year as New Workers have until lately with enthusiasm. The list of those receiving the day is reduced to half a dozen. There are several hostesses who will do the honors to their friends informally, but it is the sad prophecy of many an observer that the graft from Manhattan is not to find the proper soil in Derby to perfect it's growth.

One sixty fourth interest in the schooner John H. Tingue was put up at auction in Beecher's real estate exchange yesterday in the presence of less than a dozen bidders. John H. Broderick of Orchard street bid $235 for it and got 1t, although the share is really worth $500, as the schooner cost $32,- coo and has always been called lucky. It would have brought more were it not that the management of the vessel has passed out of Few Haven control. The share was sold to settle an estate.
